Norm, I'm sorry to hear of your dad passing away. I know the feeling. Let me just say that you have been a very big inspiration to me and someday I hope my winged flies look almost as good as yours. It's not going to seem right getting on the forum and not seeing a new masterpiece that you share wit...

This year has been very hard on me with work, family, health and more work. This past Spring the Poudre River was difficult with all the water coming down and run off lasting longer than usual this year.

Rookie question time. What do you mean by, Needle?

Job well done on tying it and catching the fish with it.

Wait, that's more than three words.

Next time we go to Minn., we will have to stop and see that big bird.

I got my prairie chicken skin but haven't had time to tie anything. I love the coloring it has and can't wait to start tying with it.

That's a great looking fly you tied jcwillow777.
